✏️ Title: DevOps++: Embedding Sustainability into Everyday Software Engineering

💡 Speaker: Wilco Burggraaf

🍃 Summary
Sustainable IT is no longer just about measuring hardware efficiency or calculating CO2 emissions. It is about transforming the way we build, run, and evolve software. While tools exist to track energy consumption, many DevOps teams, architects, and IT leaders still struggle with the critical question of what they can actually do in their daily work to make software greener. In this talk, I introduce DevOps++, a practical framework that embeds sustainability directly into the development lifecycle. From coding and testing to infrastructure provisioning, observability, and continuous improvement, DevOps++ provides concrete steps to identify, act on, and measure opportunities for energy and carbon reduction. By integrating green practices into established workflows, teams can make meaningful architectural, coding, and operational choices that drive efficiency and long-term sustainability without sacrificing performance or agility. Attendees will leave with actionable insights and tools to optimize code and infrastructure for lower energy use, align architectural decisions with sustainability goals, and evolve DevOps practices to support greener software delivery. This approach is not about adding new tasks, but about reshaping the way we already work to deliver software that lasts, performs, and reduces impact on our planet.

Pitches
Our goal is connect people around Sustainable IT. So to build more connections we would like to offer the stage to everyone who wants to share something. Note that we will timebox this on 2 minutes exactly! If you want to share something, please notify us during the welcome moment!

🔎 Looking forward seeing you there!

Join us for an evening where sustainable thinking meets embedded tech, featuring Rust, CAN bus hacking, and the right to repair. Whether you're an embedded developer, sustainability advocate, or curious tinkerer, this meetup is for you.

We’ll open doors at 17:00 with a 30-minute walk-in and welcome, giving everyone time to settle in.

From 17:30 to 18:15, enjoy a shared dinner with fellow participants. Great food, relaxed vibes, and good conversation.

At 18:15, we’ll kick off the talks. Wilco Burggraaf will open with a 15-minute talk on the Right to Repair. As our devices become increasingly locked down by software, how can we as developers support transparency, autonomy, and sustainability? Wilco will explore how software design can either block or empower repairability.

Next, Frank Lyaruu, Principal Innovator at HighTech Innovators, will present “Automotive Rust: Amateur Style.” In this 45-minute session, Frank, a Rustacean, embedded hobbyist, and sustainable computing advocate, will introduce the art of CAN bus sniffing. Learn how to tap into a car’s digital nervous system using Rust, decode the data, and build your playful automotive hacks.

No prior automotive experience needed, just a passion for tech and curiosity.

We’ll close the evening with community networking from 19:30 to 20:00. Grab a drink, share ideas, and connect with fellow developers, makers, and repair advocates.

Let’s build tech that lasts. Together.
